Wassup Hair Lovers!

These lovely ladies knew exactly what to do, to keep both their locs lovely and to beat the summer heat. Take a quick second to gorge on the variety of ways one can rock an Updo--no boring ponytails allowed here folks!

Tippi Shorter is responsible for many of the lovely locs of today's hottest stars to include Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Rihanna. In between keeping our favorite celebrities looking fabulous on the Red Carpet, she is the on camera spokesperson for both Pantene and Clairol Professional and recently launched her own line of hair for weaving! Wow!

Whew!

Your titles include celebrity hairstylist, spokesperson and now the creator of your own hair line and Mom....How do you manage to keep it all together?

It's not easy, but, I have an amazing support system. My husband handles the home front and my business partners keep the hairline together, which gives me the time to work with my clients and spread the word about healthy hair on TV for Pantene and Clairol Professional.

It's seriously blazing heat here in Gotham, but these ladies are not letting that stop their fro's.

LOL.

From the bold and the blonde, to naturally soft curls, The AFRO is SUPER HOT THIS SUMMER!

I would like to invite you to experience Kenya Robinson's Hairpolitic , an art exhibit which explores BLACK HAIR. So grab your favorite bottled water and dig in as this Florida native, Brooklyn representer, professional muse, and emerging cultural icon takes on an iconic hair journey.

What is the definition of HAIRPOLITIC?

Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions. Decisions about governance, social constructs, and cultural standards; done explicitly through laws, but even more pervasively through all types of media platforms. I feel this behavior is consistent at every level of human interaction from the extraordinary to the mundane, even something as 'trivial' as notions of beauty. What is beautiful? What is appropriate? Ultimately we know the rules of the culture we participate in, but I wonder who participated in creating the unspoken rules that we adhere to. HAIRPOLITIC is an attempt to open a dialogue about choices, how they populate the world in such a wide array, sprinkled everywhere, waiting for you to choose. You have the right to choose from the full range of opportunities, not an abbreviated listing.

The stylish streets of NYC never fail to deliver dope fashionistas and fabulous hair divas.

This past week I took notice of the variety of curly hairstyles that sistas were rockin'.

As we are now waist deep in the official wedding season, we've decided to highlight wedding hair trends happening this year. In this week's post we explore the variety of hair accessories available for today's bride and her bridal party. Side note to all reluctant bridesmaids, unlike many bridesmaids dresses. hair accessories, can be quite fun and something you will most likely wear long after the wedding is over! Yay!

Ursula Stephen is not only a celebrity hairstylist but a new image make-over expert and the shear genius that gave Rihanna the hairdo that caused her career to sky rocket.

What was Rihanna's initial reaction to the brilliant cut and your inspiration behind the 'do?

At first she was in shock.........

As you've all probably guessed by now, I'm sooooo into hair:) So you can imagine how thrilled I was to be able to get a chance to check out the IBS hair show in NYC a few weeks back.

As I entered the doors, I was told that it was students' day (the 3rd day of the tradeshow, is reserved heavily for students who are in beauty school) and to expect quite a bit of "crazy" hairstyles...well that made my day...as I absolutely adore "crazy" hairstyles.

Ahoy hair lovers!
The other week I had the absolute pleasure of being invited down by the team behind Dr. Miracle's for a Sunset boat trip here in NYC.

Let me ask you this. Have you ever in your life felt truly appreciated and cherished at an event (outside of your wedding?)
